103: Chapter 103 Royal Attendant? Gu Han: Give Me the Conditions First

"Old Churl, why are you asking so much?"

"Could it be that you actually want to steal This Young Master's Saber Techniques?"

Chu Tiankuo's expression changed slightly, but he suppressed his anger and said in a deep voice.

"Little friend, you misunderstand. This old man is merely curious. A Saber Technique that can sever the connection of Luck is something this old man has never heard of."

"Curious?"

Gu Han sneered, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"This Young Master advises you to put away your curiosity."

"There's no need to probe; This Young Master created it himself."

Chu Tiankuo's face stiffened, and a flash of anger crossed his eyes, but he ultimately did not lash out.

Instead, he looked at Gu Han with repeated amazement.

He hadn't expected Gu Han to be such a Prodigy.

He took a deep breath, while also preparing himself to continue the fight with Gu Han.

Gu Han's Saber Technique just now had already made him extremely wary.

What he didn't know was that Gu Han had also only just found out that Blade Drawing Slash actually had this effect.

"Little friend, have you considered this old man's earlier proposal?"

"Join my Imperial Family and enjoy supreme glory. Such an opportunity is not something everyone can have."

Gu Han scoffed, a playful glint in his eyes.

"Do you take This Young Master for a three-year-old child?"

"Though your Imperial Family is strong, you are not invincible in this world. If This Young Master wishes, I can carve out my own path. Why should I live under someone else's roof?"

Chu Tiankuo's expression shifted slightly, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he continued to persuade him.

"Little friend, though you are a Genius, you must understand that while there are countless geniuses in this world, those who can truly grow up are few and far between."

"If you join my Imperial Family, this old man can guarantee you a Breakthrough to the Nirvana Realm within three years."

"At that time, how many people in Great Chu could be your opponent?"

"Three years?"

The corners of Gu Han's mouth curled into a mocking smile.

"Three years is too long. This Young Master can't wait that long."

"You've certainly calculated everything perfectly, haven't you?"

"Wanting This Young Master to risk my life for you for three years."

Chu Tiankuo's pupils constricted, inwardly shocked.

He hadn't expected Gu Han to be so intelligent, guessing his thoughts with just a few words.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the shock in his heart, and said solemnly.

"Little friend, do you know how difficult the Nirvana Realm is?"

"How many Prodigies are stuck at this Rank, unable to advance an inch for their entire lives? You actually dare to speak of a Breakthrough in an instant. Isn't that just arrogant?"

Gu Han sneered, a trace of disdain in his eyes.

"What do you know?"

"How can This Young Master's talent be something you can fathom?"

"You only need to tell me, does your Imperial Family have a Nirvana Realm Cultivation Technique?"

Chu Tiankuo's face was gloomy, but he eventually nodded.

"We do."

"However, a Nirvana Realm Cultivation Technique is extremely precious. How can it be easily shown to others?"

"If you want to obtain it, you must show sufficient sincerity."

A playful smile curled on Gu Han's lips, a flash of cunning in his eyes.

"Sincerity?"

"Is This Young Master's sincerity not enough?"

His figure flickered, instantly appearing before Chu Tiankuo.

Chu Tiankuo's face changed drastically, but he did not dodge. Instead, he said coldly.

"Little friend, if you kill me, you will never be able to obtain the Nirvana Realm Cultivation Technique."

"And you will completely become an enemy of my Imperial Family."

Gu Han's figure paused, his fingers stopping three inches from Chu Tiankuo's throat, a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

He only wanted to gain the upper hand in this negotiation.

He took a deep breath, suppressed the killing intent in his heart, slowly withdrew his fingers, and spoke coldly.

Chu Tiankuo's expression eased slightly, but he did not lower his guard. He said in a deep voice.

"Rest assured, little friend. Since this old man has promised, I will not go back on my word."

"However, you must first join my Imperial Family and become an Imperial Enshrinement before this old man can hand the Nirvana Realm Cultivation Technique over to you."

Gu Han frowned slightly, a flash of displeasure in his eyes.

"Imperial Enshrinement?"

"This Young Master has no interest in becoming someone else's lackey."

Chu Tiankuo's expression changed slightly, but he didn't get angry. Instead, he continued to persuade him.

"Little friend, you misunderstand. An Imperial Enshrinement is no ordinary position. It is a honored guest of the Imperial Family, enjoying the Imperial Family's resources without being bound by its constraints."

"As long as little friend acts for the Imperial Family a few times a year, that will suffice."

"The rest of the time, little friend is free."

A glimmer of interest flashed in Gu Han's eyes.

"Oh?"

"That simple?"

"It's just that simple."

Seeing Gu Han waver, Chu Tiankuo quickly responded.

"In that case, becoming an Imperial Enshrinement isn't impossible."

"But, I have a few conditions."

"I'm all ears."

"Anything this old man can decide on, I can promise you right now."

"Even for things this old man cannot decide on right now, I will help you request them."

Hearing this, a wicked smile appeared on Gu Han's lips.

"Then don't blame This Young Master for opening my mouth wide with demands."

"Please speak, little friend."

Chu Tiankuo looked at Gu Han with a smile.

Seeing Chu Tiankuo's expression, Gu Han stated his conditions.

"I want dharma image diagrams, the more the better."

"I want Movement Techniques, Saber Techniques, and Nirvana Realm Cultivation Techniques."

"Just give me a few dozen of each."

Chu Tiankuo's mouth twitched slightly. He stared at Gu Han, a trace of helplessness in his eyes.

"Little friend, your appetite is simply too large."

"Dozens of dharma image diagrams, Movement Techniques, Saber Techniques, and Nirvana Realm Cultivation Techniques—this old man cannot produce that many."

"My Imperial Family doesn't even have that many dharma image diagrams."

"Peerless Grade dharma image diagrams are even rarer, with only a few existing, and they cannot be cultivated by anyone outside the Imperial Family."

"As for movement and Saber Techniques..."

"As long as little friend doesn't mind a low Rank, my Imperial Family can indeed provide them."

"The Nirvana Realm Cultivation Technique can only be given to you after you have been an enshrinement for one year."

A cold sneer curled on Gu Han's lips, a playful glint in his eyes.

"Can't produce them?"

"Then what is there to talk about?"

"This Young Master has no patience to waste time with you here."

After saying that, he turned to leave. His figure flickered, instantly appearing ten zhang away.

Chu Tiankuo's expression changed, and he quickly called out.

"Little friend, wait!"

"While this old man cannot produce dozens, a few are still possible."

"A few?"

Gu Han stopped and turned around, a trace of disdain in his eyes.

"You want to dismiss This Young Master with just a few?"

"Do you take This Young Master for a beggar?"

Chu Tiankuo took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said solemnly.

"Little friend, dharma image diagrams are incredibly precious. Being able to take out a few is already my limit."

"If you are still not satisfied, then forget it."

"This old man will simply find someone else."

After speaking, a flash of cunning crossed Chu Tiankuo's lips.

He knew that Gu Han would definitely turn back.

At the same time, he was secretly gathering power.

If Gu Han really didn't agree, he would stall him and send a signal.

He would have other experts from the Imperial Family come and surround Gu Han to kill him here.

A flash of cunning crossed Gu Han's eyes.

He also knew that Chu Tiankuo was testing his bottom line.

A playful smile curled on his lips. His figure flickered, instantly appearing before Chu Tiankuo.

"Fine, a few it is."

"However, This Young Master won't easily believe you."

"You must first give This Young Master a portion. After I confirm they are correct, I will agree to your conditions."

Chu Tiankuo's expression eased slightly, but he did not lower his guard. He said solemnly.

"Very well."

"However, you must first agree to one condition from this old man."

"A condition?"

Gu Han frowned slightly, a flash of displeasure in his eyes.

"What condition?"

"You need to swear a Martial Dao Oath."

"Only then can this old man hand the dharma image diagrams over to you."

Chu Tiankuo said solemnly, his gaze like a torch, staring fixedly at Gu Han.
